Baldur's Gate: Enhanced Edition delayed until end of November

Overhaul Games is going to need more time with Baldur's Gate: Enhanced Edition, so the upcoming RPG has been pushed back, from September 18 to November 30.

Seems the entire project quickly grew into something bigger than publisher Beamdog originally anticipated. As such, they decided to delay the game's release. Feedback and suggestions from the fanbase continue to pour in, and while more volunteers are signing up, Overhaul still has work to do.

A post by Overhaul president Trent Oster on the official forums reads:

Dear Friends of Baldur’s Gate,

When we first announced Baldur's Gate: Enhanced Edition, you set fire to our servers and we were overwhelmed by the huge wave of support from the fans of the original game.

Once the fires had subsided, thousands of you posted suggestions and requests on our forums. Dozens of volunteers from all over the world helped us improve game play, squash bugs, and generally fine-tune the game. Even more came to help work on translations from English to more than 16 other languages.

Executing on our plan to make the best Baldur’s Gate possible and responding to that overwhelming feedback, we’ve added new characters, areas, and story, creating many new hours of game play. Yet the suggestions, fixes, and translations continue, and more volunteers keep joining.

After recently reviewing the game and then consulting with our partners, we've decided to ensure that Baldur's Gate: Enhanced Edition is the best possible product on launch. Thus, we have pushed back the release date of the game. Our plan is to release in November, 2012.

To all who have pre-ordered, we ask for your patience as we move toward our final release date -- and we will be working on something a little extra for you. To all who have volunteered, we thank you for your dedication and support.

-Trent Trent Oster President, Overhaul Games
